Polymers for Europe Alliance – EuPC launches new service
During its General Assembly in May 2015, EuPC decided to initiate the Polymers for Europe Alliance. This forum is free of charge and open to all users of polymers in Europe or their respective national and European trade associations. Its objective is to support polymer users in Europe with factual public information on the status of the polymer supply situation in Europe. Through its network of national plastics associations EuPC can assist companies in for example requesting suspension of certain EU import duties to relieve the current shortages on polymer markets.

As an online information platform, the Polymers for Europe Alliance gives users access to a wide range of documents regarding (1) the current polymer market situation and production capacity, (2) EU import duties suspensions / quotas proceedings, (3) force majeure analysis and (4) legal guidance on joint purchasing agreements. Furthermore, the alliance will initiate a study on the aging of polymer sites in Europe, together with industry and independent experts, in order to provide more transparency on the future development of the polymer production sites in Europe. Additionally, EuPC provides legal assistance to companies that seek legal action against their polymer suppliers due to erroneous force majeure declarations. Last but not least, users of the platform will have the possibility to rate their suppliers based on which the Best European Polymer Producer Award will be awarded. This service will be available in October 2015.
